Xin Cang Qu looked at her with a smile, ”Otherwise, who would Sister Su think it was? ”Young Master Ruan?”

”I... ”Cang, I have nothing to do with him, I …” Su Jiu tried his best to explain.

”Sister Su, no need to be nervous. This book already understood, but …” ”This is a person of unknown origin, a demon that caused the world to fall into a calamity. It's a bloodthirsty and cold-blooded demon, so I don't want Big Sis Su to get too close to this book, and even more so, I don't want you to have any sort of intimate relationship with this book. Otherwise, if you were to be implicated by this book, would Big Sister Su understand this book's intentions?”

Although these words were spoken with goodwill, they caused Su Jiu to be dumbstruck. He immediately felt a pain as if a needle had been pierced through his heart, but it only lasted for a moment, and Su Jiu immediately grabbed the hand that stopped by her cheek, and with tears in his eyes, he looked deeply at Xin Cang Qu, ”Su Jiu is not afraid, is not afraid of anything. Just ask for the blue sky... Even if you don't like me, don't push me to the side! ”

Seeing such deep affection towards Su Jiu, Xin Cang Qu really couldn't bear it anymore. After being silent for a moment, she finally spat out the word ”good”.

After this incident and the delay, the three of them had no choice but to speed up their journey. Otherwise, they would not be able to leave this mountain today.

This way, he would at least be able to have a peaceful sleep every day, and would not have to worry about losing his life due to the enemy's ambush. Furthermore, the reason why the Nine Heroes Ridge was able to become the head of the Martial Arts Six Great Sects, was naturally because of his exceptional abilities.

But the only thing that was inconvenient was that if they wanted to make a move on the other person, they had to think of a way to keep Su Jiu away. They could not make Su Jiu suspicious, so they had to think things over.

After they left the mountain, the sun had already set. The three of them found an inn to stay at. The next day, Xin Cang Qu bought another three horses and the three of them continued on their journey.

Just like this, they passed by eight cities along the way. It had been seven days since they left Kunyang City.

The sun rose and set again. The sky gradually darkened, but this time, there was no room for business in the village. This time, they were afraid that they would have to camp out in the wilderness again.

The three people on horseback looked at the endless mountain road before them and stopped in unison.

Kunlun turned his head to look at the letter. With a teasing tone, he said, ”Has the Lord ordered someone to find a place to stay and prepare some food and wine?”

He was having a good dream! He did not answer as he closed his jade fan. Then, with a leap, he landed lightly on a large tree a few meters high on the road in front of him. However, that tree did not look like it was carrying a weight at all.

Xin Cang was standing on top of a tree with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. Other than a mountain after a mountain, there were uneven paths. He couldn't help but frown, because every year when he replied to the Heavenly Letter, he would spend some time here, but there was no other way. If he was alone, then it would be alright, at least he wouldn't need to be on guard against the evil spirits, but now that he was in Kun Wu's territory, he was under the control of others, so he had to be extra careful.

After pondering for a moment, he lightly tapped his foot on the ground and jumped down.
